My Tweets this week

First off, I want to apologize for the fact that this'll be the only post today -- horrible air quality due to numerous Los Angeles area fires is making a bad cold more uncomfortable, and I have a bunch of September 1 deadlines on other projects.

Here's what I've been talking up on Twitter this week. If you'd like to see these in real time, Follow me at Twitter. A word on some conventions: "RT" means "Retweet" -- I'm repeating something that somebody else said. Anything preceded by an "@" symbol is the username of someone else on Twitter. Twitter is a microblogging service that limits updates to 140 characters in length; I use it primarily to post links to stories I don't have time to write about here on the blog and to mention really really tiny bits of news that aren't worth full blog entries.

JPL workers have been ordered to stay indoors because the nearby Station Fire (2 miles away) is making air quality awful.riday, August 28, 2009 1:30 PM
